He is a musician
She a waitress
He was her friend
She was his crush
He was silent
She kept him in the friend zone
They had a big fight
Neither of them remembers why
A change of circumstances
New possibilities
She reached out
He broke the silence
She fell in love
He did not think twice
Now she loves his ginger curls
He adores her style,
Her courage, more balls then most men
He soothes her when she goes wild
A cloud of starlings flies over
Suddenly it rains bird poop
They laugh
It is a good sign
“I have been cleaning the city since 1997. Even though it´s not easy to earn a lot in my field I managed to get a steady contract. Some people might be surprised but I really love my work. Through the years I met many interesting people and every day is different from the other. It feels good to support my family financially. A few years ago I was even able to buy an apartment for me, my wife and our girl. I really consider myself a happy man.”
“I have been studying history for the past 40 years.”
“What is the biggest misconception people have about history?”
“The fact that history repeats itself. Before the industrial revolution it probably did, but ever since then changes within society are taking place so fast. It became impossible to predict the future. Before a father could advice his son about the future because he knew what was coming for him. Nowadays a father will not know what kind of world his son will be living in.”
“Would you say we can learn from history”
“We could but the art is to recognize certain patterns in history. Many people think something like for example the holocaust will never happen again but I believe they are wrong. Such disasters could always happen again, just in a different form.”
